“Can I bring my baby to the interview?”
The message came in at 11 PM:
“Hi, I have an interview with you tomorrow at 2 PM. My childcare fell through. Can I bring my 8-month-old? I understand if you need to reschedule.”
Old me would have rescheduled.
Unprofessional. Distraction. Red flag.
New me replied:
“Absolutely. See you tomorrow.”
She showed up with her baby on her hip.
She apologized three times before even sitting down.
Ten minutes in, the baby started crying.
She tried to soothe him while answering questions.
She apologized again.
I stopped the interview and said:
“Hey. You’re managing a fussy baby, answering complex questions, and staying calm under pressure. That’s literally the job. Handling chaos while staying professional. You’re already proving you can do it.”
Her eyes filled with tears.
We hired her.
She’s been with us for a year now.
The most reliable team member we have.
Why?
Because when you’re used to handling a screaming infant at 3 AM and still showing up to work the next day, workplace stress feels like nothing.
Working parents, especially mothers, are some of the most organized, efficient, and resilient people you’ll ever hire.
Yet we lose them because our hiring processes are built for people with zero caregiving responsibilities.
If your interview process can’t accommodate a parent facing a childcare issue, you’re not filtering for professionalism.
You’re filtering for privilege.
Taking off Zirkzee at half-time for tactical reasons is quite astounding. United needed more players in the box to unsettle Wolves - look at how Dorgu’s disallowed goal came. That sub, plus reverting to back three, big questions for Amorim. #MUFC

Or kill your best friends. Somebody is going to die if you don't let him win."

They can’t tell the difference between migrants in hotels and migrant workers.
They can’t tell the difference between a Muslim and Sikh.
They don’t know who is a British citizen and who isn’t.
Why would they? They only know who is white and who isn’t.

@JohnMcCloy@Mick_O_Keeffe Wise up ya daft bastard.....vote him in for what you silly cunts haven't a clue about anything in Ireland instead you listen to this ballbag 😅
If the people of Ireland & The UK don't ACT soon AND VOTE MCGREGOR IN they will not be able to vote their way out of it with the way the populations are exploding. It is terrible what those politicians have done to these people AND YOU NEED TO VOTE THEM OUT ASAP and reverse course on the immigration.
